Prifhanner
Prifhanner, "Half Capital," is a walled town built according to gnome proportions, which halflings have also inhabited. The gnomes are attracted to the region's odd coastline, whirlpools, and the area's isolatedness.
Demographics
60% gnome, 40% halfling
Government
Elected officials from business owners, especially from the scientists, laboratories, explorer guilds, libraries, and bakeries. Typically headed by gnomes, as the settlement was a gnome settlement originally. The sizeable halfling population, necessary to support the town's population especially given the region's inhospitable nature, has earned itself some representation in the town politics. The mayor is typically gnomish, and the "Vice Mayor," a unique position to Prifhanner, is typically halfling.

History
Prifhanner was originally established by Trepsiltonian glass gnomes, built according to gnome proportions. The establishment attracted Moethe's few gnomes at the time, including some from Thickthicket and Hevedberg. As Prifhanner grew, halfling merchants and business owners began servicing the town, which then began to grow the halfling population. Halfling inventors and magicians have flocked to the town as a place for innovation and discovery, especially in terms of aeromancy and fulminomancy. It is now Moethe's premiere spot for innovation in gnome technology.

Tourism
Prifhanner is a favorite spot for gnome and halfling travelers, and "full sized" visitors, including dwarves, humans, tieflings, and elves, are not allowed not by specific rule (which would be illegal) but by exclusion of "full sized" amenities, buildings, and walkways.
Architecture
Tall buildings stacked on top of each other arranged in a small footprint surrounded by a wall. Everything is half-sized to accommodate the gnomes and halflings, and the appearance of the town is eclectic, busy, steaming, fuming, musical, clamorous, colorful, and ornate.
Geography
Located among the dry hills of the Ffeltmoor, Prifhanner is unsupported by crops and has to import its food by way of halfling merchants.
